Comparison of suicidal behavior among Chinese university students before and during the Covid-19 pandemic
This study explores the changes in suicidal behavior among Chinese university students before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The prevalence of lifetime suicide plan, lifetime suicidal ideation, and 12-month suicidal ideation among Chinese university students was higher during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to before the pandemic. The prevalence of lifetime suicidal ideation did not increase among students with high family economic status, wher…
Psychache, Hopelessness, and Suicidal Ideation and Behaviors
This study explored the relationship between variables emphasized in the theory's first step of the three-step theory (3ST)-psychache, hopelessness, and their interaction-to suicide-related variables (i.e., lifetime suicidal ideation and attempt, past-year suicidal ideation, communication of suicidal thoughts, and self-reported future suicide attempt likelihood). Chinese undergraduate students ( N = 11,399; mean age = 20.69 ± 1.35) from seven pro…
The Relationship Between Negative Focused Disposition and Suicidal Ideation Among College Students
Negative focused disposition appears to directedly associate with suicidal ideation and can indirectly relate to suicidal ideation through the relation with somatic anxiety, general distress and depression. College students with few positive expectations of the future may benefit from interventions focusing on somatic anxiety, general distress and depression
Looking Into Recent Suicide Rates and Trends in Malaysia
Background: Suicide is a preventable cause of death. Examining suicide rates and trends are important in shaping national suicide prevention strategies. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to analyze age-standardized suicide trends of Malaysia between 2000 and 2019 using the WHO Global Health Estimates data, and to compare the 2019 rate with countries from the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN), Muslim majority countries, an…
An analysis of age-standardized suicide rates in Muslim-majority countries in 2000-2019
Most Muslim-majority countries had lower age-standardized suicide rates than the global average, which might reflect religious belief and practice or due to Muslim laws in their judicial and social structure which may lead to underreporting. This finding needs further in-depth country and region-specific study with regard to its implication for public policy
Religion, Psychological Strain, and Suicidality in China
The religious believers and religious fence-sitters have higher psychopathologic risks and suicidal risk than the atheist group. Religion as of low prevalence in Chinese societies is a social value deviant from the norm and its practitioners are likely to be marginalized or stigmatized. The Strain Theory of Suicide is used for detailed explanations
Religion, Strain and Suicidality among Chinese Young Adults
Psychological characteristics of suicide attempters among undergraduate college students in China
Suicide attempters continued to report higher scores of risk factors and lower scores of protective factors, indicating that they may continue to be at a higher likelihood of a suicide attempt. Key protective factors should be identified for each individual in order to deliver appropriate clinical interventions to reduce their risk of reattempting
Coping Strategies and Suicidality
Background and Objective: Suicide is a leading cause of death in young people. Suicidal thoughts and behaviors can be triggered by life and study stresses; therefore, it is important to understand the role of coping strategies. The current study analyzed the link between different coping strategies and suicidality in university students in China. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 2,074 undergraduate students from China used a stratified-cluster…
Shame and Suicidal Ideation among Undergraduates in China
Undergraduate students with shame are more likely to experience suicidal ideation, but there remains a lack of research investigating the factors underlying this relationship. The interpersonal theory of suicide posits that suicidal ideation is influenced by the simultaneous presence of thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness. We examined the prevalence of suicidal ideation among undergraduate students in China and examined the associ…
Associations between depression, anxiety, stress, hopelessness, subjective well-being, coping styles and suicide in Chinese university students
Suicide is a major public health concern worldwide. This study aimed to predict the suicidal behavior of Chinese university students by studying psychological measures such as hopelessness, orientation to happiness, meaning in life, depression, anxiety, stress, and coping styles. In November 2016, a stratified-clustered-random sampling approach was utilized to select subjects from two large public medical-related universities in Shandong province…
Moderating Effects of Religiosity on the Relationship Between Trauma and Suicidal Behaviors Among College Students in Northwest China
Studies have shown that traumatic experiences are positively associated with risk of suicidal behaviors, whereas religiosity has been found to be negatively associated with that risk. How exactly religiosity interacts with traumatic experiences in its relationship to suicidal behaviors remains unclear. The current study examined the moderating effects of religiosity on the relationship between traumatic experiences and suicidal behaviors in 5,301…
Religious Orientation and Its Relationship to Suicidality
The relationship between religious orientation and suicidality can be more complex in samples of low religious rate. The present study was conducted in China, one of the least religious countries, with the purpose of exploring different aspects of religious orientation and their relationships to suicidality. Among a university sample of 2074 respondents, 122 respondents reported being religious and responded to our measures of religious orientati…
